Approach:

Kiona is committed to assisting people live their best lives beyond anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, substance abuse, and anger. Kiona believes, “the optics of perfection is rarely every perfect” and focuses on tailoring the needs of her clients and in allowing her clients to set their own treatment goals and guiding them when they become “stuck”. Kiona pulls from various theories to help her clients but focuses on how one’s thoughts, feelings and actions are connected and plays a role in maladaptive behaviors.

Kiona enjoys engaging her clients in the therapeutic process through the use of various tools and the use of journals, that all her clients receive as a gift in learning to re-write their narrative.
